you seem to have a blue cast on the first shot (the steel work is too blue and there is blue in the shadows) warming up the white balance will remove this and add color to the decking and to the rust on the steel work
I like the composition of the last one, I'm not sure where the blue in the reflection in the paving is coming from but it may also be a white balance issue or just the lighting they are using, see what happens if you warm this one a little as well

The first has a MAJOR blue cast as Keith has already said. When I first looked I thought that steelwork was painted blue! That said I love the image - it's an interesting composition and it's well exposed. #3 is also great - you've managed an angle on a much photographed object I've not seen before.

hey, stubbsy, thanks mate.

i had a fiddle with the WB as Firsty said, and it made all the difference.

the temp was about 5100, but took it up to about 6000 and now it looks really natural and much better...thank god for RAW.

gota pay more attention to WB i guess, i tend to forget it and leave it up to the cam to much.

cheers.

actually quite like the first shot! Even with the blue cast ... you could even boost the saturation higher..
